Served daily from 12 noon
We love good food here at The Kitchen. Food that’s local, from the heart and downright delicious. And we love serving it in the gorgeous, light-filled space that is our restaurant with stunning views across the Park, River Esk and out to the historic Orangerie. We have child-friendly menus plus vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options. We’re also available for private events, corporate events and weddings.
Lunch is served from 12pm to 4.30pm on weekdays and to 5pm on weekends. Book online or call us on 0131 322 2572. Alternatively, simply turn up and we’ll find you a table. There’s always plenty of shopping to be done in Restoration Yard if there’s a short wait.
